Red Hot  Ballroom, semi-new documentary about teaching ballroom dancing to  
elementary school-aged children. For me, it makes a great argument for  
multilingual education (and better public funding,  etc.).



The correct title is "Mad Hot Ballroom," and one of the wonderful things  
about it is how it shows children of many different backgrounds in New York City  
learning this skill. One of the schools is in Washington Heights, where I 
live.  Most of the children in that school are Dominican and many of them area 
already  experienced dancers and don't have the hang-ups some kids in other 
neighborhoods  do about learning to dance.
